Senate passes bill to establish Juneteenth as a national holiday

The Senate passed a bill Tuesday to establish Juneteenth, the day marking the end of slavery in the United States, as a national holiday.

After passing by unanimous consent, the bill now heads to the House of Representatives, where its passage is all but assured, then on to President Biden’s desk for signature into law.

The only reason the Republicans went along with this is that it gives them another day in which they don't have to do their job.
